Wow, that's exactly what happened to us. No shit. Well, one difference. We paid to have it installed and it was installed eventually, but it doesn't work and doesn't do what they said it would do. And the guy admitted that part of it never worked. It just happens to be the part we bought it for too. :feels-hot

:feels-hot is the right emoticon for that guy. After he promosed me a refund and didn't send it, when I first ICQed him, he couldn't remember which pissed off customer I was, he apparently has so many.

If you paid through PayPal, though, you can get a refund. Apparently, if just a few more people complain about this conman, then everyone who got scammed like this can get a refund on Q's snake oil if they want it.

Here is the complaint URL:
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/we...&flow=md_buyer

You also have to take into consideration "mature" code. Buying a stable solution with the bugs worked out is hard to put a $ amount on.

After the nightmare with being conned by a conman which the salesperson claimed was the originator content management solution and supposedly complete and mature code, we bid out for a custom solution. I don't know if it is true or not, but given that the atomic solutions guy claimed that Content God is totally taken from his code, I didn't really want to give that a try after having a site launch slowed down by the insane misleading "guidance" of the conman guy. We definitely got quite a range of price quotes, but I would rather pay more and work with someone who can make deadlines and not lie about what the software does and then split.

I believe it was Paypal that we used, but it's been over 3 months, and I think you have to complain sooner than that. We figured it was a lost cause, I guess.

At least we didn't pay big money for the software itself, we got it after they went "open source"... we're only out the money we paid for the install. $200.00, "non-refundable". I just hate it when people advertise shit that isn't true! :mad:

Normally, paypal requires you to complain within 30 days. That is why Q kept promising me a refund until 30 days were up and then he laughed about taking me for the money.

In this case, however, because there is clearly a con going on, if enough people file complaints, then they will all receive refunds, no matter how long ago they purchased.

If you have any trouble with the form, you can phone paypal or hit me up on icq at 337070007.

Thanks for the info! I just forwarded the link to my partner, it was his paypal account the money came from.

By the way, we also did research before having the program installed. Everybody seemed to post glowing reviews on the boards. I don't understand why nobody complained about the fact that major advertised features do not work, nor apparently have they ever worked.

Is it possible that the new "open source" version is different from the old version?

I'm nearly finished a paysite back-end/content management script similar to the scripts above. My script will be more of a custom solution, it does the galleries, thumbnail generation (2 sizes), creates zips, niches/categories, model pages, search, templated system, auto updates/cycling(?), etc, etc. I'll help you integrate it and also add custom features or whatever else you want.

If you are interested in a more custom solution, contact me and we can talk details/price.

I'm not gonna comment on A-Coman for right now.
